Social media

1.
Watch your use of social media. Some people put everything on
Facebook, from what they ate to how they did their hair today. Remember that
the more information you give out, the more someone else will know your
schedule and can figure out when you’re most vulnerable.

2.
Safety in cyberspace. Although the Internet is educational
and entertaining, it can also be full of danger if one isn’t careful. When
communicating on-line, use a nickname and always keep personal information such
as home address and phone number confidential. Instruct family members to do
the same.

3. Don't check-in on Facebook or
Foursquare when you arrive somewhere. Instead, check in as you leave. This way
no one will be able to digitally stalk you and know your every move or when
you're not home.

4. Along the same lines, avoid
tweeting or Facebooking from vacation, especially if your account is public, as
it's a way of letting the world know that your home is unoccupied.
